Homework Help: L.A

Posted by Shadow on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 at 10:09pm.

I'm trying to find the theme of the book I'm reading, but I don't really know what exactly is a theme, could anyone give me an idea of what a "theme" of a story is?
-Is the theme = What is the author trying to teach us? Or is it the central message of the story? Thanks

The theme of the story is the central message and what the author wants you to know.
